i insured mine last week with a day insurance with norwhich union, but the car had no other policy active so its legal. there is a option when i did mine though come to think of it, which said "using relatives car temporarily" so def look into it, mine was like 12 for the day last week.

Really? So how are norwich union getting away with day policies? I'm not saying it in a cocky way by the way mate, just genuine question :)

im a underwriter for insurance, and i can 100% tell you that it is uber illegal to have more than one active policy on a car at once, not even day/week/month insurance would be legal, do you have driving other cars extension? another idea is to get maybe your dad to ring as your grandad and add you as a temp driver and pay the additional premium for it, yes its not right to get someone to ring on his behalf, but as long as grandad doesn't mind there shouldn't be a prob mate.


hope this helps

Elephant will let you insure it when the cars not in your name

Plan B is to just dayinsure it for 28 days... This isn't illegal is it? I'm only asking because of what ive heard in this topic.

Yeh you can't have 2 live policies on one car...I don't know much about day insure mate

i thought it was illegal to have 2 insurances on one car because a double claim could be made?

i have added a temp car on my policy cause i was given a coutesy car i had to insure

So I couldnt add it as a temporary vehicle on my policy? I only ask, because it makes me wonder how dayinsure works if that's the case...

Nah because if im insured on it, id be able to use it 7 days a week instead of relying on my dad. Im a bit of a ditz for not realising this in the first place :lol: is it possible though? Grandad is abroad so phoning his insurance without him here is going to be tricky

i think you should be an additional driver on your grandads car since you will only use it on saturdays

Quite a dilemma, but i'll explain best I can.

I have just sold my corsa a few days ago, and i'm going to put a freeze on the insurance till I get another car. My dilemma is, I need to get to work tomorrow (and every other saturday) and now that my dad is working saturdays, I cant get a lift. My grandad has gone abroad till August, and his car is left standing on the drive.

My question is, can I insure it under my own insurance for a few months till I get my own car, or will the fact that it's still insured under his own company cause problems? Im in a pickle for 2moro so help needed urgently :lol:
